Morris spent the last six years as director of player personnel for LSU Coach Les Miles. Morris replaces Bo Graham, the son of Arizona State coach Todd Graham, who is the new running backs coach. Chris Thomsen, offensive line coach last season at Texas Tech, was ASU's running backs coach but has shifted to the offensive line job to replace the fired Bob Connelly.
